The X Factor Recap: One Direction Euphoria; Khaya Cohen & Tim Olstad Fizzle Out (11/21/13)
The British invasion mania continued on The X Factor’s results night with One Direction eclipsing the outcome of the vote count from last night’s performances. Khaya Cohen finally reached the end of the road; fan support must have been so down since she didn’t even get a spot in the sing-off. Team Paulina took a beating after Tim Olstad and Carlito Olivero also figured in the bottom. Here’s what was ironic: Tim Olstad (who appears with Mario Lopez in this recap’s photo) was sent home by the very three women who found him uber sexy last night. Funny thing is, Simon...

The Voice’s Top 8 artists faced-off tonight and boy, every performance was just mind-blowing! These artists really battled it out for the coveted six spots as if it were their last on stage.

Here’s a recap of all the performances. Indie rocker James Wolpert delivered all the necessary drama and intensity in show history after an electrifying cover of Queen’s “Somebody To Love”.

Here’s how the artists checked-out on their performances with a live 25-piece band. Rion Paige was a happy character on stage with LeAnn Rimes’ “Swingin”.

The Voice Recap: Is CeeLo Tacitly Supporting Cole Vosbury? (12/02/13)
Six artists are left on The Voice with each performing two songs for public votes and a chance to get in next week’s semi-finals. Tonight’s most rousing performances were of the extremes: from the stirring verses of songs from Tessanne Chin, Will Champlin and James Wolpert to the more sensitivity-laced compelling covers of Cole Vosbury. On top of this is the apparent clash of the young power vocalists Matthew Schuler and Jacquie Lee. CeeLo Green appeared to have thrown his support to Cole Vosbury based on his feedbacks, albeit done in an indirect and subtle fashion. Here’s the recap of...

The Voice Recap: Team Adam Dominates Scoreboard; Matthew Schuler Falls Short of Semis (12/03/13)
Five artists are advancing in The Voice’s semi-finals next week; sad to say, Matthew Schuler will be missing all the excitement. Between Matthew and James Wolpert, the Twitter-verse opted to give Adam Levine’s artist another shot. Matthew’s departure evened out Christina and Blake’s chances of a finale appearance; well, that is, if either Jacquie Lee or Cole Vosbury can devise a strategy that would cut off Team Adam’s lead at three artists. Before Carson Daly bared the top 5 artists, we heard CeeLo Green calling last night’s performances as exceptional with Tessanne having had the best time. Adam and Christina...

The X Factor Recap: Demi Lovato Suffers Defeat, Loses Ellona Santiago & Rion Paige in One Night (12/05/13)
The X Factor’s double elimination results show tonight was definitely tumultuous of varying degrees. The rumpus came early with Ellona Santiago’s elimination (her photo appears in this recap). Perhaps the biggest multi-tasking performer to appear in the show, Ellona was a crowd favorite and proclaimed frontrunner this season (straight from the four judges themselves). Ellona’s exit made jaws drop (led by Kelly Rowland) and resulted to a lot of stunned faces. The general shocked sentiment was understandable, considering that last night happened to be Ellona’s strongest (in both performances). Did the mentors’ constant patronage hurt her this time? Thing is,...
